    This feels like groundhog day with Colin Doyle and Rouven Sattelmaier. Richard O'Donnell is in the top six keepers in the division for save percentage and top five for total saves made.

    Watched on mute on Saturday but if this is true about criticism from Radio Leeds, and the situation re Hornby, then thats so poor.

    Because the stats suggests hes actually a decent keeper. Seems like they are stirring the pot but like I say, didnt hear it so I'm only going on what others are saying here.

    They were questioning if he could have done better with the first goal and suggested that Hornby is in decent form. Not much more. I like that Kiwomya is prepared to be critical. RO'D shouldn't be undroppable.

    Thats not so bad if thats the case. Yes, not suggesting he should be a guaranteed a place but it seems overly harsh to me when his stats are as good as they are.

    Only place he scores is through the legs, ROD should be aware of that. Im guessing the forward originally shaped to smash the ball as I see no other reason for ROD to be feignig away from that

    Whoops, yes you are right Fordy, I forgot about Evans! Edit my choice to Evans now (with Clarke vice-Captain!)

    Strange situation with ROD in the summer. He was offered a new contract but took a long long time to sign it. Was he hoping for a better offer from another club? Was the captaincy the icing on the cake that eventually made him sign? Agree that stats are good and so no real evidence to not include him in the squad but feel that captaincy is rarely a good responsibility for a keeper.

    they did say his distribution wasnt great as more often than should be the balls kicked out of play and that he needs to be more vocal rather than looking at the ground when a goals let in , which is correct

    He needs to kick the post with the sole of his boot like lots of keepers do.This shows that they care apparently.

    ROD isn't even looking at the bloody ball either.
